Hematite – Hand Knotted on Black Silk Cord
In the Beginning
Hematite was the first gemstone I ever knotted into a set of BackBeads—the spark that started it all. A stone of protection, presence, and quiet strength, it supports the body, mind, and spirit with grounding clarity.
Rich in iron, Hematite carries an ancient energy, deeply rooted in the earth. Crack it open and you’ll find a cool metallic sheen lined with red dust—an echo of its raw power and connection to life itself. It absorbs negativity, calms scattered thoughts, and builds steady confidence. More than just a beginning, Hematite reminds us to return to center — firm, focused, and ready for what’s ahead.
- Find a quiet, comfortable space.
- Pour the beads from their vial, taking notice of the sounding of stone against glass.
- Take deep, calming breaths—inhale your intention, exhale distractions.
- Roll each bead between your thumb and fingers, letting your mantras and intentions flow. Take notice of the space between each bead. Open space around the internal chatter in your mind as you relax into your breath cycle. Work your way through 2 beads ... 8 beads ... all 44. Open your mind to the intuition found inside the stillness.
- After your calming practice, wrap the simple lariat strand once around your neck. Taking notice as you cross one side over the other letting the beads dangle loose. Drape them down your spine as a gentle posture reminder. Adorn your chest as a reminder of your breath and heart center, fostering a deeper connection to yourself and the energy you carry throughout the day.
Customize your style by attaching interchangeable necklace charms.
BackBeads are more than just a beautiful adornment—Use them as tools to simplify your meditation practice. Each of the 44 beads acts as a tactile anchor, gently guiding you into the present moment, helping you breathe deeply and set your intentions.
When worn down your back, they serve as a gentle reminder to be conscious of your posture—grounded in the physical world and comforted in knowing ‘ the Universe has your back’.
Adorn your chest to stay mindful of your breath and heart center, establishing a deep connection to your inner being and wearing that sense of peaceful confidence throughout the day.
Each set of BackBEads is made from natural gemstones hand knotted on silk cord. The natural beads will have different variations of color due to the natural crystal structure of the minerals.
They are one long lariat strand and should be stored either in the vial or hanging from a hook to prevent tangles. Check included booklet for storing guide.
It is best if you take your beads off before going in water, including swimming or showering or even exercising. Our BackBeads are very high quality, strong and guaranteed for life, but they are not indestructible. Please do your part to treat with intention and care.
